Hyundai Motorsport takes tremendous 1-2 finish at the 2021 Nürburgring 24 Hours.

Vice President and Head of N Brand Management and Motorsport Sub-Division at Hyundai Motor Company, Till Wartenberg said: “We won the Nürburgring 24 Hours, and not only that we finished first and second in the TCR class with the Hyundai Elantra N TCR and Hyundai i30 N TCR. It’s an incredible result for Hyundai Motorsport, for Hyundai, for the N brand and for everyone involved in the team – engineers, mechanics and of course the drivers. None of this would be possible without them. Through everything all three cars performed flawlessly and showed what we are capable of as a manufacturer in some of the toughest conditions on one of the most testing tracks in the world. The Hyundai i20 N team showed the excellent performance of our latest road car design, so it is clear that even more is to come from Hyundai and N.”

Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing Manager Andrew Johns said: “The Nürburgring 24 Hours is one of the biggest events on the racing calendar and remains one of the biggest challenges for both car and driver. For the last three seasons we have stood on the class podium at the race, but to take class victory and a 1-2 finish is a massive achievement at the end of extensive preparation and hard work both at the track and by our Customer Racing department engineers. The driving teams for both the Hyundai Elantra N TCR and Hyundai i30 N TCR were also excellent through the entire event and the double podium is nothing less than they and the team deserved. Qualifying first and second showed the pure performance of the chassis, and the race results – however shortened it was – proved the reliability and balance of the car that the drivers were able to handle all of the varying conditions during the weekend.”
